1t has been suggested that the Court
House bell be rung today for Il while about
noon i'll celebration of the centennial ami
vsrsary of the constitution of our country.
1t is not stated in history at hat hour this
great document was signed but the historian
Bancroft states that after this was done the
member of the convention were entertain
ed at dinner by Washington who had so
ably presided over their deliberations. As
late dinners were not in vogue in those days
it is probable that this was about noon. We
heartily endorse the suggestion OF ringing
the bell and hope that some patriotic citizen
will make the bell ring out merrily and
loudly.

Many persons in Z kton who have been
patrons of The Philadelphia theatres would
like the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore railroad company to change the
time of south bound train No. 30 which now
leaves Broad street station at 10:40 Z.
This train until this summer lett Broad
street at Dc +. NJ. We presume the rail
road managers intend changing the time of
the train so that the many theatre patrons
other points south of Wilmington may
have an opportunity of seeing the many fine
attractions that are to be at Philadelphia
theatres this fall aud winter, but think it
will do no harm to call their attention to
the wants of the people in this regard.
